Crises are challenges, not calamities. One can never be prepared for any calamity.’  As the wise saying goes, the same was the case with all of us when we were badly hit with Covid 19. Though we have come out of the lockdown, still the world is crippled and unable to stand straight without any support. Each one of us was affected in some or the other way. Along with the various companies of the world, real estate, though a very firm company was also paralysed.  TABLE OF CONTENT 1.Resilient Real Estate 2.What does Force Majeure Mean 3.Why Force Majeure 4.God’s Act 5.Force Majeure invoked 6.Appeal of Home Buyers 7.Doctrine of Frustration 8.Force Majeure – A Saviour 1.Resilient Real Estate  Real Estate couldn’t shield itself from the heavy blow of the pandemic, and there came a halt to the construction along with a delay in handing of the projects. The reverse migration of the workers added to their miseries. Interruption in the supply chain fuelled the agonies of the developers. Construction activities had come to a grinding halt. Even after the unlock the construction activities resumed at some of the sites. Most of the sites were still stagnant as a large scale of exodus migrant workers had to return to work. Migration of labour is a huge concern for the recommencement of construction. Ensuring the availability of labour was the main challenge. The disrupted supply chain is another critical requirement. Developers have to find new reliable sources of supply chain. Handing of the projects as per the contracts was impossible. In this worse situation the developers were frantically hunting for some clause which could give them some relief from the penalty which they would have to pay in case of delay in the projects from the date that is mentioned in the contract. To the delight of the developers, came out the Clause of Force Majeure as a saviour from their contracts. It is rightly said that ‘Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility but through greatness of mind.’ Force Majeure was a savior – a blanket of relief. ‘Persistence and resilience only come from having been given a chance to work through difficult problems.’ And…..Real estate got an opportunity to get back to feet and prove to be resilient. 2.What does Force Majeure Mean Force Majeure is an event of effect that can neither be anticipated nor controlled. It can be an act of God or human actions that include war, armed conflict, terrorist attack, labour strike etc. A disaster is regarded as a Force Majeure event based on the below mentioned criterion:  a) It is an unforeseeable event.                                                                                     b) It must be outside the control of either party.                                                     c) The contract could not be completed due to the calamity.                                d) The clause of Force Majeure should have been included when the contract was prepared. 3.Why Force Majeure   Force majeure covers extraordinary circumstances as well as natural calamities. An event can be defined as force majeure when certain conditions are fulfilled which include externality, unpredictability and irresistibility of the event. Construction contracts usually include this clause to protect the parties in the event that a part of the contract cannot be completed due to causes which are not in control of both the parties and could not be avoided by exercise of due care. In these circumstances, Force Majeure comes as  a saviour. 4.God’s Act An act of God is an event for which no party can be accountable. It is an event that is beyond the control of the parties and it relieves one or both the parties from the liability to complete the contract. 5.Force Majeure invoked Covid 19 is certainly an act of God. Builders had to confront a drastic situation that was out of their control. A long period of lockdown, disruption in the labour supply and difficulty in the movement of material like cement and steel had jeopardized the company. The real estate industry came to a complete standstill during the pandemic. The Ministry of Finance announced a 6 months extension for the registration and completion date for all registered projects which expire on or after March 25, 2020. In this way force majeure was invoked. The Finance Minister has termed the Coronavirus as a Force Majeure event for the real estate sector and this decision was welcomed by the developers because they felt that only force majeure can act as a saviour. The government has provided a major relief to the real estate sector by invoking the force majeure clause for coronavirus hit real estate. Government declared the Coronavirus pandemic as Force Majeure. Here are a few highlights of the declaration : Covid 19 should be treated as an event of Force Majeure under RERA. If needed, Regulatory authorities can extend for another period of three months. Fresh ‘Project Registration Certificates’ will be issued automatically with revised timelines. Timelines will be extended for various statutory compliances under RERA, concurrently.  These measures will de-stress the real estate sector to some extent and can facilitate the completion of projects, without adding an awful financial load on developers. 6.Appeal of Home Buyers Home buyers feel that Force Majeure is a clause that proclaims one –sided declaration and does not benefit them in any ways. They feel that the legal relationships have to be equally liable to both the parties. They expect equal leeway in the market. They wish to get some legal protection under the Doctrine of Frustration

FOOD, CLOTHES & SHELTER!! Human necessities were limited to food, clothing and shelter in the earlier days. These were regarded as basic necessities and man considered himself happy if he had all the three. But as the world is heading towards modernization, the meaning of necessities is undergoing a change. The word necessity is slowly transforming to amenities. Human motto, at present is : “Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities”- because amenities have now become the basic necessities. Amenities are gaining importance in today’s life. TABLE OF CONTENT 1.Current Trend 2.What are Amenities? 3.Gated Communities 4.Security 5.Play Area 6.Recreational Facilities 7.Swimming Pool 8.Community Hall 9.Gymnasium 10.Landscape Gardens & Tracks 11.Sports 12.To Conclude 1.Current Trend “The luxuries of a few are becoming the necessities of many”. There were a handful of elites who preferred elegant lifestyle but now many have joined this bunch. A major segment is able to afford the high demands of a posh lifestyle.  Earlier people used to prefer independent houses in a busy area so that they can remain connected to the city. Time has changed the thoughts of man. In present scenario, where city life is full of pollution, humans are moving away from the city, thus giving a new pattern to the purchase of their dream homes. Home buyers prefer to settle down in such areas which can provide a peaceful and natural atmosphere. Gated communities are the most preferred ones as they come adorned with ample amenities. This tells us that amenities are gaining importance. 2.What are Amenities? Amenities are thought to be necessary as they make life easier and more pleasant. Basic amenities include roads, running water and electricity. Social amenities are those which make the social life pleasant –like schools, parks, infrastructural facilities. Civic amenities refer to those services which are used in general by everyone like, sanitation, burial grounds, roads, drains, hospitals etc.  But the amenities which the home buyers prefer to get as a souvenir along with the residence they purchase are different. These amenities play an important role in offering a quality living. In the present era, amenities are gaining importance.  The following dazzling amenities or necessities in today’s language are given preference before finalizing the purchase of the dream house.   3.Gated Communities  Life in gated communities is considered to be elite. The trend nowadays is to have a dream house in a gated community. There are various reasons behind selecting this option. A stylish lifestyle is an attraction because gated communities usually pocket ample amenities. More open spaces are provided with green landscapes. These gated communities give a sense of privacy as well as maintain the connection with the society. There are many advantages if the residence is purchased in a gated community, priority being the presence of amenities. Some of the gated communities also offer amphitheatre and a supermarket on the premises. Presence of a club house, swimming pool, recreation halls etc is a regular feature. People are more attracted towards gated communities, presence of amenities being the main reason. This shows that amenities are gaining importance.  4.Security Security is considered to be one of the important amenities. One needs to empty the pockets on personal security if it is a standalone building. People prefer to go for gated communities  where the availability of      24 / 7 security and surveillance cameras all around the premises will solve the issue. One can stay away from their home for a long period as the safety of the house is taken care of, by the security. 5.Play Area An expansive separate area has to be dedicated to the kids. A separate area for children clearly states that children have the freedom to play here without anyone monitoring them. It is safe and children are under the watchful eyes of surveillance cameras. Green open spaces to play and fresh air to breathe are necessary for healthy growth. Exclusive play areas bring the kids out of gadget addiction. Kids can have a fun-filled childhood. They get an opportunity to meet children from different cultures. This will strengthen unity in diversity. This will also help in the personality development of the child. 6.Recreational Facilities “Peace of mind is a state of calmness or tranquillity, a freedom from worry and anxiety.” One needs some relaxation space to keep the mind at peace after a stressful day. Due to the escalating stress levels involved in professional life, one needs to vent out the stress at some yoga or meditation centre. Accommodation of recreation rooms in the society will help to relieve the stress and it is an added benefit with the purchase of the house. Health and wellness is of utmost importance for a happy life. Meditation and yoga halls help to rejuvenate our senses. 7.Swimming Pool “Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save and preserve it.” We can get this movement through swimming.   Most of us love swimming but how many of us go to the pool? First of all, it is an expensive affair plus it involves travel time.  Swimming pool has now become an essential amenity. It symbolizes both- leisure and exercise. Moreover an in-house pool offers ultimate privacy. It can be used at one’s convenient time. 8.Community Hall This is a place which is perfect for birthday parties, anniversaries, social functions or community enjoyments. This will be a pretty spacious hall along with a vast open space that can accommodate the guests. These halls are usually managed by the society of the community. This serves as the venue for all the parties and large gatherings including social gatherings during different festivals. Some societies have a rooftop hall too. 9.Gymnasium “Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness”. One needs to maintain a healthy lifestyle. In today’s busy life schedule we hardly get any time for ourselves. One has no time to go to a gym as it is

Technology, technology and technology!!! Technology is best when it brings advantages and not destruction. It is a means to bring the world closer and together and solve some of the great challenges.  “Any sufficiently advanced technology is equivalent to magic.” – Arthur C.Clarke.  We find technology in every field of life.  The application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, machinery and equipment- developed from the application of the advances in computer technology upscale the industries. When almost all the industries are blooming with technology, then how can the real estate trail behind. Most of the sectors in real estate are using technology in different ways. The biggest unorganized market is heading towards a civilized and modern means of business with the help of technology. TABLE OF CONTENT How does technology help real estate Websites Introduction of AI and Chatbots Entry of Drones Internet of Things (IoT) 3D Printing Blockchain Prevents Forgery Digital agreements  Winding up 1.How does technology help real estate Technology plays a vital role in the growth of real estate. Though a late bloomer, real estate has embellished itself with various innovations and advancements of technology. Real estate is at the brink of a major transformation in the technological world. The sectors that cover developing, buying and selling are successfully enhanced by technology. Buyers as well as seller’s gain prominence by adopting technology. Deals have become easier than before. Construction technologies have been modernized. The intervention of the internet and technology has provided a firm platform to real estate.  Let’s throw light on how real estate is embracing technology in its various sectors and heading towards excellence. 2.Websites Introduction of websites have brought a major revolution in the field of real estate. The offline market has paved the way to more friendlier, mobile centric technology that has redefined the perceptions of property management and investment. Most of the transactions have become paperless. These apps help in searching our dream house or the property of our interest at the click of a button. They provide a larger view of options to the buyers. Customers can find solutions for all their real estate requirements at their fingertips. These sites have made it easier to connect with the consumers. Their queries also can be solved online, thus maintaining and strengthening the buyer–seller relationship. 3.Introduction of AI and Chatbots Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning are gaining importance in the real estate sector. AI works in a smart way by making machines carry out composite tasks related to human minds. Machine learning makes computers analyze and resolve problems. AI enhances the buying and selling of properties in the real estate sector. Modified AI applications can even answer detailed questions related to a project or society. With AI, one can have a virtual reality tour before finalizing and get handy information about the property you are planning to purchase. It also helps the developers to advertise their property to potential home buyers. AI is used for convenience and efficiency. A Chatbot is an artificial intelligence in the form of a computer-generated assistant. It is designed to stimulate human conversations. This is a tool used as a chat interface exactly as one would converse with another person. Chat bots are programmed to provide a preset answer that responds to common queries.  It saves time and the cost spent on customer service and responding to questions. Chatbots have brought fancy to real estate. Most of the real estate websites have included chat bots for the better functioning of their business. Integration of chat bots on the real estate websites is a way to refurbish with the help of technology. 4.Entry of Drones Drones are being used to assess and carry on a detailed survey of the construction site. Drones take images of properties and also give an aerial view of the ongoing construction site. This helps the buyers to accumulate the visual information at economical cost. Gone are the days when real estate used to work with brochures. The virtual images displayed on the sites speak volumes about the site and the construction. These drones also help in giving a virtual tour of the dream homes. Usually safety managers conduct the site walk-through to identify the probable hazards. This walk-through can be replaced by drones which are more effective, safer, as well as faster and can perform more accurate inspections. 5.Internet of Things (IoT) This is called the Internet of things. It refers to a system of interconnected and interrelated objects that are able to accumulate and transfer data over a wireless network and without human involvement. It is a part of homes, work and shopping places, parking lots etc. It consists of sensors/ devices which talk to the cloud through some kind of connectivity. There are several top IoT devices in the market like smart security systems, smart door lock etc. IoT has impacted every industry and real estate is not an exception. This technology will ease all the steps of buying, selling and renting properties. Self regulating lighting, heating and cooling saves money and also makes it fancy. IoT in the form of smart technology, helps in efficient building management. Its implementation in residences can increase their resale value and make them prominent. 6.3D Printing “The art challenges the technology and technology inspires the art” – John Lasseter. 3D Printing is one of those technologies that is expected to give a big leap to the real estate sector. Though in the budding stage, it can replace a considerable amount of time and cost of construction across the major segments of real estate following all the safety standards. It can be applied in residential, commercial and even the retail sector. 7.Blockchain Prevents Forgery Fraud is a common risk prevalent in real estate and this is more likely to prevail as long as paper documents exist. Paper documents can be easily forged. This risk can be minimized with the use of blockchain. Blockchain is a system of recording information in such a way that
